Tiffany & Co. sued eBay in 2004, claiming that the online marketplace enabled the sale of fake Tiffany jewelry. The case centered on whether online marketplaces should be held liable for failing to prevent the sale of counterfeit products. Tiffany claimed that eBay was being willfully blind to the vast counterfeit trade on its platform, which was undermining its luxury brand. In 2008, per WWD, the judge ruled in favor of eBay as it did not find the e-commerce platform liable.
